Hello,

In the case of dissecting aneurysm symptoms may present like claudication pain. Also, thrombus formation and discharge to the distal area lead to a block of circulation.

Also, check other possibilities like lumbar spondylosis with radiculopathy.

Anemia or hypothyroidism or infection or hypotension may present like this.

Please get it done hemoglobin status, color Doppler study of legs, MRI spine and serum electrolytes.

Please consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
